Tripsimus and the Magic Lettuce

Our story begins in the later years of hedgehog's dominion. It is known that hedgehogs, just like moles, are heartless and greedy rulers. That is why, after a drought year, when the food became scarce, all the green, juicy plants were declared property of hedgehogs and their servants, the caterpillars. They had the control on who eats and who doesn't.
